The Sears store over in the next town from me carries 3/4" sockets up to 2-3/8 inches and 1-1/2 in half inch drive.

If you could find that socket in an American made socket, it would cost you at least $20/30 or more. If you were to buy the 3/4" imported set which is about 30/40 dollars for the whole set...you might be money ahead. The biggest problem with the imported socket set is...they are made of inferior steel and you can break one if you"re not careful.

If when trying to break a stubborn bolt or nut loose...before putting on a cheater bar and breaking the socket...take it off, heat the stubborn part up (red)with an accetylene torch, put on socket quickly and give it a turn and then take the socket off so as not to ruin the heat treatment in the socket...let it cool some and then it should come off easier. You would then have a new set of sockets for the many jobs they will do...IF used accordingly.

Don"t have an accetylene torch...so you can"t do it that way??? Go purchase one of those weed burning torches from TSC/Harbor freight and borrow the propane tank from the bbq grill and you got around 3000 degrees of heat...just be careful not to burn up the seal in the bottom of the gearbox. I"ve seen the torches as low as $17.95. If all this takes too long to get organized...you can sharpen the blades in place with a right angle grinder and a 4.5 or 7 or 9" grinding stone. Just don"t sharpen them on the bottom...top only. You have to stand the mower up vertical on a hoist and put on your safety glasses. Use a large "C" clamp to keep the blade from moving, clamped to frame under blade. Fred OH

I have 3/4 drive sockets all the way up to 3 inches but I use them most of the time on my 1/2 impact with an adaptor works good and is cheap. Of coures I also have a 3/4 drive socket set but the impact is so much faster.

Sears Craftsman 3/4 drive breaker bar is cheap and will save a broken 1/2 inch breaker bar,and is returnable if broken.

You probably won't find one in 1/2" drive. You will need to go with 3/4" drive and use an adapter.
I've had to do the same thing in the past.

Anything wrong with using a 1/2 to 3/4 adapter and a 3/4 drive socket? Snap on goes up to 1-9/16 in 1/2 drive impact. You may have a hard time finding one.
